Abstract
Provided are a semiconductor device and a method of fabricating the same. The semiconductor device may include a selection element, a lower electrode pattern provided on the selection element to include a horizontal portion and a vertical portion; and a phase-changeable pattern on the lower electrode pattern. The vertical portion may extend from the horizontal portion toward the phase-changeable pattern and have a top surface, whose area is smaller than that of a bottom surface of the phase-changeable pattern.
